Carl Paladino, the Trump campaign's former New York co-chairman, said in an interview with a Buffalo arts publication Artvoice that what he wishes for most in 2017 is for President Obama to die and Michelle Obama to "return to being a male" and go live in a cave in Africa.
In the interview, the real estate developer was asked what he would most like to happen in the New Year.
He responded: "Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to [senior White House adviser] Valerie Jarrett, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her being a nice person and decapitated her."
He also said he'd like to see first lady Michelle Obama "return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortable in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla."
Paladino verified his comments to The Buffalo News, saying he is not "politically correct."
Paladino ran for Governor of New York in the 2010 election. He pulled off an upset by winning the Republican primary over Rick Lazio, but lost in a landslide to Democrat Andrew Cuomo in the general election, 63% to 33%. Paladino's candidacy was supported by the Tea Party movement.
Voices4Hillary doesn't care that the Trump campaign repudiated his comments.
Voices4Hillary has a New Year's wish too, Paladino, but we won't say.
We are not like you, Paladino. We take our lead from Michelle Obama, one of our heroes.
When you go low, we go high. We take our lead from Hillary and Maya Angelou.
When someone tells us who he is, believe him.
Paladino, we will always remember who you are and who Trump is.
We wish that America willremember, resist, denounce and reject.
We will work to make our wish come true.
